Born in Rome, Olimpia Medici has a degree in languages from the University Ca’ Foscari in Venice where she studied Russian and English, took many vaporettos and crossed a lot of bridges. In addition to writing books, she works as a translator, support teacher and nature guide. Her great passions are reading, travel and the mountains. If she manages to put the three things together it's even better and lately she's been doing it rather well.
